This is the question with many answers but I am not sure how to apply them. I please for the particular solution: what to add or remove by changing to comment in the following files and what to check or uncheck in the following dialog windows.
Now, the Ubuntu 12.04 Update Manager tells: "Software updates may be available for your computer.
The package information was last updated 61 days ago.
Press the 'Check' button below to check for new software updates." Clicking at the 'Check' button results in a warning "Failed to download repository information.
Check your internet connection." with Details
The Internet connection is OK. My /etc/apt/sources.list contains

I have a further PC, almost identical, with the same Ubuntu software. The problem with such update failures at the second PC has been solved by mere clicking at some control at its Update Manager. Probably I have missed the opportunity with the PC described above and I do not know how to repair it. Thanks!
I am editing it after the 'mark kirby's answer and my comment to be able to show clearly the steps.
The /etc/apt/sources.list file from the second PC contains two more lines
. After using it the Update Manager says 'The software on this computer is up to date.'.

deb-src ddebs.ubuntu.com $(lsb_release -cs)-proposed restricted -cs)-security -cs)-updates -cs) universe main multiverse
The /etc/apt/sources.list file resulting from the steps in the answer is different; it contains
. In the Update Manager, clicking at the 'Check' button results in a warning "Failed to download repository information.

Have I done a mistake or should I use the /etc/apt/sources.list file from the second PC? Thanks!
You sources are messed up but we can make a new list
Open a terminal and type
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list
Then open this
sudo software-properties-gtk
You will see 5 check boxes tick them all and underneth change the server to the nearest on to you, apliy the options and close the window.
Then go to your terminal and
sudo apt-get update && upgrade
Will update you system
